Apparently Miley Cyrus and her fiancé Liam Hemsworth had a long sit-down discussion about their romantic issues when he returned from a month-long holiday in his native Australia last week.

The 20-year-old American actress-and-singer and the 23-year-old Australian actor became betrothed last year.

Speculation was rife recently that the pair hit a rough patch in their relationship and may have called off the wedding. Liam was in his native Australia for an extended period of time while Miley was pictured without her engagement ring in Los Angeles.

Apparently the brief separation did the couple good.

“After a four-week break, Liam went back to Miley to talk about their problems,” an insider told Radar Online.

“He had a chance to clear his head in Australia and Manila, realised he couldn’t be without Miley and wanted to make their relationship work.”

It was said that Liam wasn’t fond of Miley’s new look and her partying lifestyle. Miley was thought to be infuriated by accusations that Liam kissed Mad Men actress January Jones.

During the conversation apparently the pair arrived at mutual agreements they could both live with.

“They sat down and talked it all through. Miley told Liam she wants more romance in the relationship, while Liam said he wanted to her be more responsible and act her age,” the insider said.

“Liam and Miley both have dominant personalities and can be quite stubborn. In the end, they knew that it would be better if they just listened to one another.”
